I've removed a Twitter widget from my blogger widgets. The God damn widget is too slow — Twitter downtimes and high response times are legendary. And the stupid widget also tries to execute a JavaScript from the laggy Twitter server. You do know that browser won't do any downloads or processing of your page while it loads a script, right? With a 5 minutes wait for Twitter server to serve it's lousy JavaScript and then 10 minutes more for it to fetch your twits, you're in for quite a long wait. Is it that hard to serve your last 5 twits in a response to a simple GET request? Even if you lag like hell — send your twits tomorrow, but let the rest of the page be loaded fast.
